Hi,
So some of you guys will have the absolutely amazing boxes made by Basically Wooden. I was asking them to make me a couple of bespoke dividers and also asked if they had any different dividers for the new art versions to distinguish them from the original art.
They don't have anything as yet but i was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for an extra icon on the dividers in front of the normal Carcassonne watermark icons that we could use to identify new art versions?
So far all i can think of is the following, and they might be a bit crap...

2k14
2.0
C 2.0 (with the c from carc icon)
C2
v.2
anyone got any better ideas for this?

Hi all. Me and Olya just had our game. it was a really nervy start and some good back and forth on the small cities and roads. A big city started to form down in the bottom of the map and there was some great competition for it for a while until it became blocked and only accesible with two tiles. i managed to sneak another meeple in on the right which basically secured the city. Things then moved on to farms and a discard city up top which developed too much for anyone to ignore anymore and i snook a meeple in there nearing the end to dump some final city tiles in it and rack up a few points. There was a great farm battle in the middle and top right before i snagged a second meeple into the top and Olya a second one into the middle.
Scores on the doors

yeah, we were trying to find some people to play Caverna with us but as you say, everyone already seemed set up. I think everyone was just so excited to be playing their new games they've bought that there wasn;'t much movement between games!!
I see you tried out Terra Mystica. It's probably one of my all time favourite games. It's very deep and very strategic. The first few times it's very overwhelming but after that you really get into it and it fast becomes people's favourite. I try and get it onto the table at London on Board at least once a week. Which faction did you play? do you remember?

what did you think of the whole expo Asparagus? I thought it was great but Saturday day was so loud and busy in the main hall. And it was tough to get a free gaming table in the evening on the saturday as well. luckily we jumped on a ticket to ride tournament table that had just finished and stayed the whole evening there.
Here:s the games i played:
Surviving:One Month in - unfortunately the guy didn't have any copies yet to play (they were on the boat) but we did have a 20 min play with his prototype set and really liked it. A great little survivial semi co-op (he used the term PvPvE) where you explore a zombie infested hex city, fighting and hoarding and picking up survivors. The mechanism for actions by flipping cubes around was great, the 8-bit artwork was absolutely fantastic and the changeable layout with bottlenecks and deciding to have a more casual solo effort or get everyone in the mixer kind of game was excellent. We both put our name down for a copy.
Ice-Cool - looks like this was the hit of the expo to be honest. Dexterity flicking game of collecting fish and trying to hit each other. Everyone was enjoying it and having fun. Most places were sold out and my bro picked up a copy for his kids and they already love it.
Karuba - Heartbreakingly, post playing this, it seems every shop had sold out. We loved this. Tile laying, temple linking game nominated for SdJ and can now see why. Right up our street and really fun - would be a great gateway game.
Everdark - another prototype which was, unbelievably, completed booked up for playing the entire weekend. (i guess they are very happy about that!) - really unique mechanisms of revolving concentric circles on circular stepped board. You work your way around this semi-coop trying to save the city, fighting the bad guys and trying to get outside and collect resources. all the while trying to mess up other peoples plans but also work together to not lose the game. We loved this and will be on the kickstarter when it starts as long as the price is good.
Caverna - I finally picked it up and it was everything i ever dreamed of! although i bought it on my joint account so the wife is not overly happy! at least i got £25 knocked off retail price!
T.I.M.E stories - we played the first 15 mins as we didn't want to spoil it - loved it and i'm sure it will appear in one of our birthday presents this year!
Codenames, Pictures - the game was fairly protoypey still and i guess they have some cleaning up to do. but it looked really fun and there's a lot more scope for interpretation which i think will help anyone who gets stuck with thinking of words. All of the pictures were quite obscure designs so you could use little bits to get the picture instead of the whole picture itself...if that makes sense!
Fog of War - a brilliant little wooden tank strategy game where you have to move and fire on each other. The beauty of it was that you didn't know how strong each tank was (written on the base of each) and so you weren't sure who would win each battle. very clever.
Things we also saw or bought were - Elevenses, Scythe (saw the game, looks incredible but HUGE!), new art style agricola, tiny epic kingdoms, village and many many more!

ah ok, thats what i was looking for. Because surely no one in their right mind would list that at 4k. i mean, i know the first print P+D are tough to find but still...4k!

is this real? like has someone actually set the price at 4k for that? or is it just simply that its hard to find and so its like an algorithm thats set that price?
